Primordial Treasure Mirror

Su Yang had come specifically for the auction, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

Without wasting words, Manager Zhao turned his hand upwards, and a palm-sized iron token appeared in his palm.

The token was extremely shiny and had simple array patterns engraved on it. The front was engraved with the number "28".

He handed the token to Su Yang and said:

"Immortal Master, please come at noon tomorrow. You can go up to the second floor with this token. The second floor is the auction hall of my Qingyang Pavilion. Your seat is number 28. Someone will take you to your seat."

Su Yang took the token. It felt slightly cool to the touch. It was a piece of spirit iron, and it was quite light, even lighter than the spirit iron wood token he had obtained not long ago.

He carefully put away the token, and before leaving, he inquired about the situation of Jinsha Market with Manager Zhao.

After all, they were markets not too far apart, so he figured Manager Zhao should have some understanding of Jinsha Market.

that's the truth.

When Manager Zhao heard that he was going to Jinsha Market, he thought about it.

Tell him that Jinshafang Market is much larger than Tianyunfang Market.

The Tianyun Market area is controlled by three small families that have reached the Qi Refining stage.

Jinshafang is different; it is jointly controlled by two foundation-building families.

Moreover, Jinsha Market is not the only market controlled by those two Foundation Establishment families. There is also Xilin Market to the east of Jinsha Market, which is also controlled by those two Foundation Establishment families.

Both of these Foundation Establishment families have inner disciples and inner elders as backers within the Qingyang Sect.

Therefore, even if inner disciples go to the market to take charge, they still have to be given some face.

Unlike Tianyun Market.

The three major Qi Refining families would only try to curry favor with the inner disciples and dare not offend them in the slightest.

After receiving this news, Su Yang understood.

It seems that the situation at Jinsha Market is more complicated than that at Tianyun Market.

Given its location on the border between two states, and its proximity to Tianhemen, there must be even more issues to deal with there.

"It seems I need to be more careful over there. It would be best to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining as soon as possible so that I can avoid many troubles."

Su Yang made a decision in his heart, then thanked Manager Zhao and turned to leave Qingyang Pavilion.

After going out.

He led his horse around the market again.

The market was still bustling at this time.

Many independent practitioners moved among the stalls, and the sounds of bargaining filled the air.

Su Yang wasn't in the mood to buy anything, so he found a decent-looking inn in the market and stayed there.

This inn is not very big, with only a dozen or so guest rooms upstairs and downstairs.

The shopkeeper was a rogue cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining. He was quite enthusiastic when he saw Su Yang leading a half-spirit beast horse.

Su Yang booked a superior room on the second floor, which cost only forty spirit crystals a night and included a dinner.

Forty spirit crystals, which is less than a third of a spirit stone, are naturally expensive for ordinary rogue cultivators, but for Su Yang, it's just a drop in the ocean.

After paying the spirit stones.

Su Yang saw the spirit crystal for the first time.

As a by-product of spirit stone mines, spirit crystals naturally contain spiritual energy, but it is far inferior to that of spirit stones and cannot be used by cultivators for cultivation like spirit stones.

He handed the horse to the shopkeeper and gave him five spirit crystals, asking him to take good care of Chi Yan.

Then we went upstairs.

After arriving at the guest room, Su Yang took a quick look around.

As expected of a superior room, it was quite large, fully equipped with all sorts of things, and extremely clean.

In the center of the room, there is a meditation cushion.

Su Yang had no intention of eating dinner. He sat directly on the futon, and after confirming that there were no spying signs around him, he took out the top-grade Green Wood Pill from the mirror space and began his cultivation for the day.

The medicinal power dissipates in the meridians, flows along the route of the Primordial Green Yang Technique, and finally converges into the dantian.

After refining one, he began refining the second.

Tianyun Market is situated on a first-grade mid-level spiritual vein, but this does not mean that every part of the market has the same spiritual energy concentration as a first-grade mid-level spiritual vein.

The spiritual energy concentration in this inn is only that of a low-grade first-level spiritual vein, which is far from comparable to that of a sect. If one simply meditates and cultivates, the daily progress in cultivation would be negligible.

Fortunately, he doesn't rely much on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to increase his cultivation; he mainly relies on the medicinal power of top-grade pills.

After refining the five pills.

Su Yang opened his eyes, feeling the spiritual power in his dantian grow stronger, and began to plan his next steps.

"We'll set off as soon as the auction ends tomorrow. We should arrive at Jinshafang City in two days at most. We'll find out what's going on there and make sure Li Yunxiu and Liu Yuan are alright."

"If Li Yunxiu is alright and has made it to Jinsha Market safely, that would be for the best. I will continue to follow her."

"If something happens to her and she doesn't make it to Jinsha City, I'll have to stay here and wait for orders from the sect."

Thinking of this, Su Yang slowly exhaled:

"With Li Yunxiu's cultivation level, she should be able to escape, but I don't know if she will continue to Jinsha Market."

"Also, I hope to find the pills I need at tomorrow's auction."

Su Yang desperately needs good elixirs.

Pills of such high quality as the Wood Spirit Jade Transformation Pill and the Spring Blossom Pill have a far greater effect on his cultivation than the Green Wood Pill.

Especially pills with special effects, such as Chunhua Dan.

If he could acquire a few more, his resources would increase significantly.

Even now, he still hasn't figured out the specific effect of the phantom image of the tender bud above his head.

But his intuition told him that if the phantom of the sprout could continue to grow, it would definitely bring unexpected benefits.

"Take it slow, don't rush it. Cultivation is the most important thing, but staying calm is equally important."

Su Yang stopped thinking about it, took out the alchemy furnace, and began refining pills.

After refining the elixir, he used the Spirit Nourishing Technique to refine his physical body, and then used the Spirit Gathering Stone to temper his spirit.

The night passed just like that.

Early the next morning.

Su Yang left his room and went downstairs to the inn to order some simple food.

I went to the backyard to take another look at Crimson Flame.

Chi Yan was in good spirits and was chewing on fodder with his head down.

Upon seeing Su Yang approach, it raised its head and snorted.

Su Yang patted it, then instructed the shopkeeper to look after it for another half day, and that he would come to take Chi Yan away in the afternoon.

For the sake of those five spirit crystals from yesterday, the shopkeeper readily agreed.

Su Yang left the inn and strolled around the market to kill time.

When the sun was halfway up the sky, it was close to noon.

He estimated that it was about time, so he leisurely headed towards Qingyang Pavilion.

It was still a quarter of an hour before noon.

No fewer than thirty or forty people had already gathered inside and outside Qingyang Pavilion, and more were still arriving.

Su Yang took a closer look.

Most of these people were clearly independent cultivators, dressed in all sorts of different clothes, and their cultivation levels varied greatly.

The vast majority of them were in the early to mid-stages of Qi cultivation.

Only a few people had a significantly stronger aura, and they should be cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining.

However, the threat posed by these late-stage Qi Refining cultivators to Su Yang was far less than that posed by the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators within the sect.
